Thanks Dave. Does anybody know of a distributed in-memory system that can do this and that
supports structured data (e.g. tables)?

cannot afford to built up a cluster that holds our 700 GB SQL-Database in RAM. So we need
to be able to load data on-demand from our relational database. Can this be done in Cassandra?
Then there also needs to be a way to unload data in order to reclaim RAM space. Would be nice
if it were possible to register for an asynchronous notification in case some value was changed.
Can this be done?
